/**
*
* Catches and responds to JVM failure
*
* This class represents a catastrophic failure of the system, especially the Java virtual machine.
* Any class may, at any time, indicate that a system failure has occurred by calling
* {@link #initiateFailure(Error)} (or, less commonly, {@link #setFailure(Error)}).
*
* In practice, the most common type of failure that is likely to be reported by an otherwise
* healthy JVM is {@link OutOfMemoryError}. However, GemFire will report any occurrence of
* {@link VirtualMachineError} as a JVM failure.
*
* When a failure is reported, you must assume that the JVM has broken its fundamental execution
* contract with your application. No programming invariant can be assumed to be true, and your
* entire application must be regarded as corrupted.
*
Failure Hooks
GemFire uses this class to disable its distributed system (group
* communication) and any open caches. It also provides a hook for you to respond to after GemFire
* disables itself.
* Failure WatchDog
When {@link #startThreads()} is called, a "watchdog" {@link Thread} is
* started that periodically checks to see if system corruption has been reported. When system
* corruption is detected, this thread proceeds to:
*
*
* - Close GemFire -- Group communication is ceased (this cache member recuses itself
* from the distributed system) and the cache is further poisoned (it is pointless to try to cleanly
* close it at this point.).
*
* After this has successfully ended, we launch a
* - failure action, a user-defined Runnable {@link #setFailureAction(Runnable)}. By
* default, this Runnable performs nothing. If you feel you need to perform an action before exiting
* the JVM, this hook gives you a means of attempting some action. Whatever you attempt should be
* extremely simple, since your Java execution environment has been corrupted.
*
* GemStone recommends that you employ
* Java Service
* Wrapper to detect when your JVM exits and to perform appropriate failure and restart actions.
*
* - Finally, if the application has granted the watchdog permission to exit the JVM (via
* {@link #setExitOK(boolean)}), the watchdog calls {@link System#exit(int)} with an argument of 1.
* If you have not granted this class permission to close the JVM, you are strongly advised
* to call it in your failure action (in the previous step).
*
*
* Each of these actions will be run exactly once in the above described order. However, if either
* step throws any type of error ({@link Throwable}), the watchdog will assume that the JVM is still
* under duress (esp. an {@link OutOfMemoryError}), will wait a bit, and then retry the failed
* action.
*
* It bears repeating that you should be very cautious of any Runnables you ask this class to run.
* By definition the JVM is very sick when failure has been signalled.
*
*
Failure Proctor
In addition to the failure watchdog, {@link #startThreads()} creates a
* second thread (the "proctor") that monitors free memory. It does this by examining
* {@link Runtime#freeMemory() free memory}, {@link Runtime#totalMemory() total memory} and
* {@link Runtime#maxMemory() maximum memory}. If the amount of available memory stays below a given
* {@link #setFailureMemoryThreshold(long) threshold}, for more than {@link #WATCHDOG_WAIT} seconds,
* the watchdog is notified.
*
* Note that the proctor can be effectively disabled by
* {@link SystemFailure#setFailureMemoryThreshold(long) setting} the failure memory threshold to a
* negative value.
*
* The proctor is a second line of defense, attempting to detect OutOfMemoryError conditions in
* circumstances where nothing alerted the watchdog. For instance, a third-party jar might
* incorrectly handle this error and leave your virtual machine in a "stuck" state.
*
* Note that the proctor does not relieve you of the obligation to follow the best practices in the
* next section.
*
Best Practices
* Catch and Handle VirtualMachineError
If you feel obliged to catch either
* {@link Error}, or {@link Throwable}, you mustalso check for {@link VirtualMachineError}
* like so:
*
*
*
catch (VirtualMachineError err) {
SystemFailure.{@link #initiateFailure(Error) initiateFailure}(err);
// If this ever returns, rethrow the error. We're poisoned
// now, so don't let this thread continue.
throw err;
}
*
*
* Periodically Check For Errors
Check for serious system errors at appropriate points in
* your algorithms. You may elect to use the {@link #checkFailure()} utility function, but you are
* not required to (you could just see if {@link SystemFailure#getFailure()} returns a non-null
* result).
*
* A job processing loop is a good candidate, for instance, in
* org.apache.org.jgroups.protocols.UDP#run(), which implements {@link Thread#run}:
*
*
*
for (;;) {
SystemFailure.{@link #checkFailure() checkFailure}();
if (mcast_recv_sock == null || mcast_recv_sock.isClosed()) break;
if (Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) break;
...
*
*
*
*
Catches of Error and Throwable Should Check for Failure
Keep in mind that peculiar or
* flat-outimpossible exceptions may ensue after a VirtualMachineError has been thrown
* anywhere in your virtual machine. Whenever you catch {@link Error} or {@link Throwable},
* you should also make sure that you aren't dealing with a corrupted JVM:
*
*
*
catch (Throwable t) {
// Whenever you catch Error or Throwable, you must also
// catch VirtualMachineError (see above). However, there is
// _still_ a possibility that you are dealing with a cascading
// error condition, so you also need to check to see if the JVM
// is still usable:
SystemFailure.{@link #checkFailure() checkFailure}();
...
}
*
*
* @since GemFire 5.1
*
* @deprecated since Geode 1.11 because it is potentially counterproductive to try
* to mitigate a VirtualMachineError since the JVM (spec) makes no guarantees about the
* soundness of the JVM after such an error. In the presence of a VirtualMachineError,
* the simplest solution is really the only solution: exit the JVM as soon as possible.
*
